    Galician is not a mix of Spanish and Portuguese, portuñol is that. Galician is actually older than Portuguese and its origin is the vulgar latin that was spoken in Galicia before Castilian became the language of the peninsula.

    Ten years ago I was there as a student of the USC, University of Santiago de Compostela. They offeres many variety of programs, from trecking the 'Camino', learning Galician cuisine, or it's history, literature, you name it. Afternoon was my favorite time, walking every corners of the charming town, even everyone of the souvenir shops saluded me ¡Annon aseo!
    Although I'm Japanese 😅

    The exterior and interior of the cathedral have now been fully restored, as have the exteriors of many of the buildings and streets shown in this video. The old city looks mostly pristine now. It's a very special place to visit.

    It's hard to explain what it feels like to walk into one of the local restaurants in Galicia (especially) in Santiago on a cold, rainy, winter day and be served a warm, steaming caldo with chorizo and garbanzos. The to eat it with artisanal bread (pan artesano) and a delicious local wine. Life just feels warm and right in that place especially if you are sitting next to the crackling fire.

    El castellano,catalan y gallego para empèzar no son mezclas de nada, derivan como todos sabemos del latin y el portugues deriva del gallego. sin embargo el castellano esta muy influenciado por el arabe ya que tiene en su vocabulario incorporadas cientos de palabras, expresiones en esta lengua debido a la influencia que esta cultura tuvo durante siglos en el centro y sur de España.

    Not bad idea, Italo, but, you know, the octopus is better, surprisingly, with red wine (the characteristic red popular wine in Galicia: not the quality of white one or another red wines along Spain, but the more fitting to octopus, for instance). Specially Barrantes or Rubiós, but if you let the barman guide, you always can find nice surprises and discoveries.

      +adrian martinez I'm sorry but I don't agree... I live in Galicia and I've studied Galicia for all my life (history and all of that stuff) I can tell you that Galician and Portuguese are like brothers, on the one hand you had Spanish and on the other hand you had Galician-Portuguese but the isolation of Galicia due to the independence of Portugal (and also other stuff) divided this language into two languages: Portuguese and Galician. Maybe you'll not agree, but that's up to you, thanks for reading ;) :)

    Hubiera sido mejor que nosotros hablaramos gallego que español, porque nosotros tendríamos un diálogo entre ejemplo:(brasileño y argentino) tranquilamente esto lo yo lo digo si España hubiera adoptado el gallego como lengua oficial(el castellano se hubiera quedado como un idioma más de España) y además hubieran llevado la lengua a América Latina, solo es mi opinión.

    Perdona pero el Galego presenta una formación linguística mixta basada en el latin + el Q-céltico . Por esso la lengua galega presenta similitudes tanto coas demais lenguas latinas pero tamén características presentes tamén no gaélico . Empezando por centos de palabras coa construción similar comparado co gaélico , una morfossintaxe que se acerca mas al gaélico y que dicir del emprego de los verbos como levantar = sentido de construir como ejemplo
